Worldwide Gross 3 weekends $293,361,000. Caught this awesomeness at the IMax @ World Golf Resort just north of St. Augustine:
Unbelievably Incredibly Top Form for Guillermo del Toro. This flick blew my cerebellum thru the roof into the stratosphere. They story made the action scenes mainly concerning the Kaiju & Jaeger, in between scenes we learn that it takes at least 2 human souls in order to pilot a Jaeger so in between the immense action we get very well written characters each having a story I was interested in finding more details about. Well worth the trip to see this in IMax + 3D. The action sequences were shot in native 3d while the interactions and backstory scenes were all done in 2d so this also fits perfectly. Easily and seemingly effortlessly stands tall and above any and all action movies especially in the last 5 years. The effects implementation is characteristically above current top notch as del Toro is known for doing. The story and characters had me wanting more and thinking of how this could set up so many possibilities. The fact that the massive expansive environments which energized the all out action scenes are equally as interesting due to the handling of the characters expansive back stories and emotional facets elevates this wonderful result from the entire film crew involved really testifies to what a well crafted cinematic experience can be and the magic such a passionate creation may invoke.
An adroitly conceived and executed work of cinematic artistic innovation. A new bar has been set and it's made by Jaeger!
